Arc'teryx Women's Atom SL Hoody

About This Item

    Atom Hoody

    This is a great bit of gear that I wear most days out hiking and climbing (hood fits over helmet). Fits true to size and very comfortable. Would recommend!

    Versatile Jacket

    Such a versatile jacket. Excellent warmth to weight ratio. I wear it as a standalone jacket in warmer weather and a layer in cooler weather. Fits well and is not bulky.

    Go To Layer That Is Always In My Pack!

    Perhaps my favorite layer! Packs down small enough to keep on my harness to wear at belays a multipitch but a little more warmth and insulation than a Squamish hoody or other ultralight windbreaker. Breaths well if wearing it while climbing or on the approach. I run warm and don't usually want a super heavy layer so this is my go to piece that I always have with me.

    Perfect Soft Jacket

    LOVE this jacket...it is so soft and is surprisingly warm for how light weight it is. Perfect for summer sailing in the PNW. I'm tall with long arms and the sleeves are a great length and I love the little angle detail in the cuff! I'm 5'10' 148# and the medium is perfect!

    Just Perfect.

    I LOVE this jacket. I use it touring, climbing, hiking, mountain biking. It's water resistant, water beads up, and is great for when it's snowing lightly on the uphill or sprinkling on a hike. Super lightweight and easy to throw in a pack as a just incase layer for mountain tops. also love that the hood has a small brim. I use this almost every day in the mountains. Super breathable too with the side panels under arms and love that the cuffs aren't tight so I can easily access my watch.

    Solid Shoulder Season Piece

    Thinner than previous iterations of the Atom SL but certainly a good addition to quiver. The forearm material on the underside is very thin so I'm not sure I'd want to use this on a rock or rough surfaces but as far as general wear, hiking and other non contact mountain adventures this is excellent. The perfect shoulder season jacket to grab when running out the door. The new lightweight side mesh panels are excellent and feel sturdy. For reference the fit is just slightly loose yet fitted. Wearing a size medium, 5'6" 150lbs athletic build. Please bring back an ATOM SL vest in this material!

    No Chest Pocket!

    No chest pocket. So if you’re wearing a pack of vest the only pockets available are practically useless. This is a common thing on Arc’teryx ‘women’s’ items. Somehow I missed that in the pictures and was excited to get a piece this weight but will be returning it now.

    Sleeves Are Too Long.

    I have two Atom Vests, which I love, so I thought I'd try the hoody. The sleeves were too long! If the elastic at the end of the sleeves went all the way around, I could make it work. But the elastic only went half way around, so there was no getting the sleeve ends out of the way. I had to return it. Another solution would be for Arcteryx to start carrying Petite sizes for women. Please consider it! That would make me soooo happy!

    The One Jacket I Keep With At All Times!

    My favorite jacket by far. I use it touring on the uphill, on cold days hiking in the fall, paddling when the air is crisp, mountain biking and long days on the road bike going over mountain passes. I also get a lot of compliments on the look of this jacket. One thing I love is when I'm using my watch for navigation this style of sleeve allows for the watch to be easily accessible. I wish the other Atom jackets had the same sleeve, as I would definitely buy them but the tightness around the wrist of the other Atom jackets makes it frustratingly impossible to use a watch. Super light weight and water resistant too! For reference I'm 5'8" 128lbs with small bust and it fits me perfectly.

    A Year-round Staple

    I had an older version of this and I love the updates. The fabric is stretchier and while still as warm, it has fewer seams and is somehow less bulky. This jacket stretches and moves really well (which is nice for someone with hips and for arm movements, especially when climbing). This lightweight hoody is my year-round go-to. In the summer, it's easy to throw on for a cold evening and in the colder seasons it's a great layer, especially for skinning. I have broad shoulders and generally wear a small in Arc'teryx jackets.

    Not To Be Dramatic But... I Can't Live Without It.

    Hands down my year-round favorite insulation layer! I always reach for this, especially on shoulder-season adventures. It's super breathable, dries fast and packs small enough to fit in my mtb hip pack or running vest. I've been repping the anorak version of this for the last few years and love it even more than the original Atom!

    Solid Lightweight Mid Layer

    A good lightweight mid layer overall. The fit around the torso is a bit tight compared to the Proton Hoody.

    Perfect Mid Layer

    This jacket. is the perfect mid layer. The fabric is warm but also breathable and light weight. Plus I love a hood

    Nice Hoodie But Was Light

    Product is lighter than expected therefore was not as warm as expected. Size did not run true.

    Nice Jacket!

    Nice looking. Very lightweight and packable. Fits large. I would give it 5 stars but the price is extremely high.
